MIND BODY SPIRIT

It has revolutionised the way many medical professionals view birthing, and will now do the same for the tens of thousands of women who give birth each year. A major breakthrough in the agonies of childbirth, it will be widely featured in the national press and media. It has already been praised in "Time" magazine and "Sunday Times". It is the most remarkable natural childbirth technique to have been developed in decades. Marie Mongan takes the pregnant woman through the techniques and philosophy of a new form of gentle birthing. It draws on self-hypnosis, guided imagery and special breathing techniques the Hypnobirthing Method can bring about a shorter, easier, more enjoyable birth, free of the drugs that can harm the mother and the baby. It also allows the mother to fully control her own birthing experience as the mother remains awake, aware and alert.
